milter-test-server — MTA side milter protocol implemented program

## NAME

milter-test-server - MTA side milter protocol implemented program

## SYNOPSIS

`milter-test-server` [ option ... ]

## DESCRIPTION

milter-test-server talks MTA side milter protocol. It can connect to a milter without MTA. For now, there is no similar tool. It is useful to test milter not MTA + milter. For example, it can be used for the following situation:

- milter's performance check

- milter's operation check

milter-test-server can be used for simple performance check because it shows elapsed time. You can confirm elapsed time without MTA's processing time. You will find a problem of a milter more easily because it doesn't depend on MTA.

If a milter changes headers and/or body, milter-test-server can show changed message. It can be used for testing a milter that may change headers and/or body. If it is used with unit testing framework like Cutter , you can write automated unit tests.

## Options

Here is an example that a macro that has "client_ptr" name and "unknown" value is sent on xxfi_helo() callback:

    --helo-macro client_ptr:unknown

--envelope-from=FROM, -fFROM | Uses FROM for 'MAIL FROM' SMTP command. The address is passed to milter's xxfi_envfrom() callback.

--envelope-from-macro=NAME:VALUE

Adds a macro that is sent on xxfi_envfrom() callback. The macro has NAME name and VALUE value. This option can be specified N-times for N additional macros.

Here is an example that a macro that has "client_addr" name and "192.168.0.1" value is sent on xxfi_envfrom() callback:

    --envelope-from-macro client_addr:192.168.0.1

--envelope-recipient=RECIPIENT, -rRECIPIENT | Uses RECIPIENT for 'RCPT TO' SMTP command. If you want to use multiple recipients, specify --envelope-recipient option n-times. The address is passed to milter's xxfi_envrcpt() callback. xxfi_envrcpt() is called for each recipient.

--envelope-recipient-macro=NAME:VALUE

Adds a macro that is sent on xxfi_envrcpt() callback. The macro has NAME name and VALUE value. This option can be specified N-times for N additional macros.

Here is an example that a macro that has "client_ptr" name and "2929" value is sent on xxfi_envrcpt() callback:

    --envelope-recipient-macro client_ptr:2929

--data-macro=NAME:VALUE

Adds a macro that is sent on xxfi_data() callback. The macro has NAME name and VALUE value. This option can be specified N-times for N additional macros.

Here is an example that a macro that has "client_name" name and "unknown" value is sent on xxfi_data() callback:

    --data-macro client_name:unknown

--header=NAME:VALUE | Adds a header that names NAME and its value is VALUE. If you want to multiple headers, specify --header option n-times. The header is passed to milter's xxfi_header() callback. xxfi_header() is called for each header.

--end-of-header-macro=NAME:VALUE

Adds a macro that is sent on xxfi_eoh() callback. The macro has NAME name and VALUE value. This option can be specified N-times for N additional macros.

Here is an example that a macro that has "n_headers" name and "100" value is sent on xxfi_eoh() callback:

    --end-of-header-macro n_headers:100

--body=CHUNK | Adds CHUNK as body chunk. If you want to multiple chunks, specify --body option n-times. The chunk is passed to milter's xxfi_body() callback. xxfi_body() is called for each chunk.

Here is an example that a macro that has "elapsed" name and "0.29" value is sent on xxfi_eom() callback:

    --end-of-message-macro elapsed:0.29

--unknown=COMMAND | Uses COMMAND as unknown SMTP command. The command is passed to milter's xxfi_unknown() callback. xxfi_unknown() is called between xxfi_envrcpt() and xxfi_data().
--authenticated-name=NAME | Uses `NAME` as an authorized user name on SMTP Auth. It corresponds to SASL login name. `NAME` is passed as a value of `{auth_authen}` on MAIL FROM.

--writing-timeout=SECONDS | Specifies timeout on writing a request to a milter. An error is occurred when request to the milter isn't completed in `SECONDS` seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
--end-of-message-timeout=SECONDS | Specifies timeout on reading a response of end-of-message command from a milter. An error is occurred when the milter doesn't complete its response to the end-of-message command in `SECONDS` seconds. The default is 300 seconds. (5 minutes)
